Microsoft Groove is shutting down. Download your music before December 31st

In a late night email I just received, Microsoft announced it is shutting down their Groove music service as part of their upcoming merger with Spotify.

If you have any albums or singles through their service, you have until December 31st to download them before they are deleted.

From the email…

“Groove Music is excited to announce that we’re partnering with Spotify to bring you the world’s largest music streaming service. On December 31, 2017, the option to stream, purchase, and download music from Groove Music will be discontinued. After December 31, 2017, you’ll still be able to listen to your purchased music if it has been downloaded.”

“Keep your current music collection intact by downloading to your devices any albums and tracks that you’ve already purchased. You can download your purchased music through the Groove Music App until December 31, 2017.”

“To download your music, open Groove, go to your music collection and select the Purchased filter. Right-click or press and hold your music files and select Download from the menu.”
